70+ Zoo themed printables, crafts, activities, recipes & MORE!

My kids absolutely love visiting the Zoo. Any zoo. We recently visited a new one just a few hours away and fell in LOVE with it, so we purchased the annual family pass. Despite being tired and hot, the kids didn't want to leave and immediately began asking when we could come back. That's a HUGE WIN in my book! So I decided before our next trip to the Zoo, we needed to spend some time learning more about the animals we will see and really make the most of our trips to the zoo. Check out these {free} printables, crafts, activities, books and recipes that really make your studies so much fun!
